so sick and tired of the british

resentment within EU public is beginning to grow

I so hope they do not give the brits a fooking thing. better take a hit and remain credible than short-term avoidance of economic damage and a mid and long term damage to the EU, which would  entail even more economic damage for its member states in the long term

TMPM needs to shut her fooking gob

There's no such thing as "British". 

We are mongrels following thousands of years of immigration.

The Britons were ousted by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes after the Romans gave up. Half of the country was Danelaw for centuries. The Gaels were pushed into the corners.

The most popular food now is curry.

"British" means whatever people want it to mean. It's nonsense per se

Europe forgave Germany and Austria for far worse than the Brexit nonsense, so hopefully they will extend the same courtesy to the UK in the interests of European unity.

I mean I have only been dipping in and out of this whole brexit things so I am sure I will be rapidly corrected but...

 

...it  seems to me that TMPM is just towing an untenable position in order not to tarnish the concept of some of the other options...and is just dragging things out until we end up in a position where some much better compromise/adjustment will be both necessary and accepted by the masses...

 

Non??

I think wang is referring to the idea of there being wave after wave of incomers, each pushing the previous wave out towards the fringes.

The more widely recognised view now is that although there was some of that pushing out for the most part people just stayed and interbred.

what strutz said.  which makes sense when you think about it - population of these isles even when Claudius arrived would have been a couple of million. imagine how difficult it would actually be for an army of say 20k to drive the "celts" out of the whole country simply from a mathematical pov.

read bryan sykes' Blood of the Isles (bit dated but a good read).  the vikings only really make a genetic dent in shetland iirc and even there it's like 30%.

Fold in the fact that most europeans still have 2-3% neanderthal DNA some 60k years later and you have a better sense of how unlikely it is that indigenous populations can be driven out completely
